Hi Jane (and Alexa and Heidi if you're reading), Jane, when you went in with your skirt and blouse on the other week, what type of skirt was it? Was it like a classic knee-length lined pencil skirt, or was it a different style? Yeah, I think you'll enjoy the experience with the trainers, especially if it's a nice, expensive pair with plenty of cushioning inside. If you want to go for maximum squelchiness, I would suggest wearing your thickest pair of opaque tights with leggings over them, and a pair of soft, thick slouch socks worn over your tights and in your trainers When you step in, make sure it's a deep bath, and you'll certainly see a lot of air bubbles coming out of your shoes as they fill up. Anyway, hope you're all having a great weekend and hope to hear from you again soon. Sharon. xx

Hi Alexa, and Jane, Heidi. Nice to hear from you Alexa. Yes it is coming to the end of my clothed swimming days for this year soon, as i drain and have the pool cleaned then covered for the winter on October 1st. Thats it then until April 1st next year. That being said, still plenty of fully clothed warm baths to be had through the winter I like your idea of walking in the shower when your boyfriend is in there. That should certainly give him something to think about. Just be sure to wear something really stylish, and a nice pair of shoes or boots Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend, and look forward to hearing from you all soon. Sharon. xx

Hello Heidi (and Alexa and Jane if you're reading), Love the sound of your new boots. They do sound very warm, cosy and comfortable They certainly sound like the kind of boots that I would buy. Are they a brand, and were they expensive? Also, what is the leg height of the boots? Being tall, I usually only buy knee boots with a 15 or 16 inch high shaft of boot, as the lower height ones (typically around 12 or 13 inch high) tend to look more like calf-length on me. With regards to the heel on yours, you say they're 3 inch, is that a chunky block style, a wedge, or a 'kitten' style stiletto heel? Anyway, hope to hear from you soon. Sharon. xx

Hi Jane (and Alexa and Heidi if you're reading), Wow, Jane. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience, especially in your work outfit. I often jump into my pool wearing my work skirt suits, opaque tights and knee boots, especially when I get home on Friday evenings I'm glad you definitely want to do it again, may I suggest next time trying it with the trainers, socks over tights and leggings outfit. I'm sure you'll enjoy that Anyway, sorry this is only a short reply, having a bit of a busy evening tonight. Sharon. xx

Hi there Heidi, Jane and Alexa, Yeah, I'm missing Alexa. Hope she joins us again soon. Its been a week, I guess shes been busy. Jane, I sent you a p.m. Please read and p.m me back. Its rather important. Thanks hun Hope to hear from you 3 again soon. Sharon. xx

What type of paint was it? And surely it would ruin the insides of your shoes, even if it was just a water based paint and didnt harm your feet?

Hi Jane (and Alexa and Heidi), Jane, glad to hear you almost had the bath. Im sure you will enjoy it much more tho when you do the 'planned' bath As for getting wet feet at work tomorrow, how about doing the same as me and wear knee boots with thick opaque tights, and pour water down inside you boots. Nobody will ever see it either, so that should be better for you than wearing courts. Either way, let me know how it is for you. Im going to do it in my boots tomorrow afternoon Sharon. xx

Hi Jane, Alexa and Heidi, Hope you three had a great weekend. Jane, did you have 'The Bath' over the weekend? If so, what sort of trainers, socks, tights, and what kind of knee boots did you wear? Also, what was rest of outfit you wore? Alexa, did you get up to any wet shoe fun over the weekend? Anyway, look forward to hearing from you again soon. Sharon. xx

Hello again Heidi (and Jane and Alexa if you're reading), Yeah, 50ml was perfect, as these are quite high-sided and deep court shoes, so it held the water around my toes nicely, although I think my tights must have absorbed half of the water themselves As for my Ugg boots, yes, it is lovely going in the water with those on, especially with thick slouch socks on over my tights Obviously, if I jump in the pool wearing them, they fill up instantly, but if I step into the bath or the first step into the pool, the water is only about 1ft deep and doesn't go over the tops of them, and like I said, can take as much as ten seconds, but after that, they fill up from everywhere, unlike trainers for example, which tend to fill up around my toes first and then under the soles of my feet, and then fill the rest of them. Sharon. xx

Hi Jane, Alexa and Heidi, Well, its the weekend again at last. Hope you 3 have had a good week? I had a bit of fun today at work. After lunch I was alone in the office for the rest of the afternoon and since my feet were hot, and for once I wasnt wearing knee boots, I decieded to pour a bit of water into my shoes I was wearing 2.5'' black leather wedge heel court shoes with 50 denier 'Cornflower Blue' opaque tights. Thought it would make a change from my usual knee boots with my 140 denier opaques. It was certainly a nice feeling when I tipped around 50ml of water down the side of each shoe It ran down inside and filled around my toes instantly soaking my tights. It was lovely to be sat at my desk wriggling my toes and feeling the water squich between my toes. I dried them a bit with paper towels at the end of the day so I wasnt suelching thru the building when leaving, as there were people on the ground floor who may have heard otherwise. Anyway, hope to hear from any recent wet shoe fun from you Alexa, and Jane, I hope you manage 'The Bath' this weekend Sharon. xx

Hi again Heidi, Its very different stepping into deep water like a bath, or deep puddle or certainly walking into my pool with trainers or knee boots. Lets take the body of water to be my pool. In fabric topped trainers, they fill up totally within 3 seconds of stepping in up to my ankles. Leather topped ones take longer. Around 7-10 seconds to totally fill up. Knee boots are around the same, as once I step into the 1st step, the water rushes in through the zips of my boots, and fills them up very fast. With my Ugg's its a bit slower. Kind of strange, as I can step in to the pool without the water going over the tops, and because there is no zip, the water has to get thru the suede leather and the inside fur lining. It feels like wellies for around 6 or 7 seconds, and then 'whosh' It starts going in everywhere around my feet, and totally fills them up! Yummy! (Jane Im sure you can relate to that feeling). Anyway, as for me going in fully clothed, This was for Janes turn. I have done, and always do go in my pool fully dressed I can certainly let you know what my fave 'get dressed to get soaked' outfits are if you like Sharon. xox

Hi Alexa, and Jane and Heidi if you are reading. Alexa, thanks for sharing your wet wellie experience with us Sounds like you had a lot of fun wearing them wet all day! I love filling my wellies up at any chance I get! I often go out in the pouring rain in my pink wellies and a denim mini skirt. I wear opaque tights with slouch socks over them. I love it when the rain totally soaks the legs of my tights and runs down inside my wellies, making my thick socks sopping wet, and the feet of my tights soaking Its great, as the water stays in my wellies, and I get to walk home with the water sloching around in them. I havent tried it bear foot in them, but I certainly like it with socks and tights Sharon. xx

Hi Jane (and Alexa and Heidi if you're reading), Regarding my job, I've sent you a couple of private messages about that, hope you'll p.m me back after reading this and them. Yes, I am a web developer and programmer. I also do testing and debugging etc. Your black peep-toes and black 40 Denier tights sound nice, but I personally don't wear peep-toes as, although it's very easy to get your feet wet in them, it's also very hard to keep them wet, as any water that gets in just runs straight out through the toe holes again. Probably why I love wearing high-heeled knee-length boots so much, as not only do they look good on me because I'm tall and leggy, but they're also great for getting wet without anyone else being able to see I really do hope that you manage to have 'the bath' this weekend. If you fancy trying it fully clothed, and you're going in with trainers, socks and tights on, then how about maybe wearing a pair of classic black leggings over your tights, wear a fitted tight strectch tee-shirt and a soft, cosy zip-through, hooded top or jumper over it - obviously with underwear of your choice as well. LOL! The good thing with leggings is that they look great for a casual or sporty look with socks and trainers, but can instantly be transformed to a much more classy look when teaming them with black leather knee boots, and of course you'll experience two totally different feelings getting wet in both the trainers and then the boots. Anyway, looking forward to getting a reply from you in private messaging, and look forward to hearing from you again here. When you've had 'the bath', please be sure to let us know (in great detail) how the experience was for you Sharon. xx

Hello there Heidi (and Jane and Alexa), With regards to your question, if my feet are warm and dry, having spent around nine hours in my knee boots and thick tights, then putting on a pair of ballet flats does tend to cool them down rather quickly. However, because of my tights, they don't take long to warm up again. If I switch from boots to trainers, they stay warm, and after around an hour they often get rather hot and quite sweaty. They don't smell, but when I take my trainers off, the soles of my feet in my tights are hot and damp, especially underneath and around my toes. Jane, if you're reading this, I'm looking forward to hearing from you when you've tried my idea with the tights, socks and trainers; removing the trainers and socks, keeping your wet tights on, putting on a pair of leather knee-length boots and soaking them I've done this a few times in various types of shoes and boots, and it's always been a very enjoyable experience Anyway, hope to hear from you all soon. Sharon. xx

Hi Jane (and Heidi and Alexa if you are reading) aw, Jane, nice to see you again, yeah I thought you must have been busy with work etc. Sounds like you had fun walking through that wet grass. What denier and colour tights were you wearing? Anyway, the long soak in the bath in your trainers, socks and opaque tights should be lovely and relaxing Great idea to maybe take the trainers and socks off after 20mins and your soaking wet tights feet into a nice pair of leather knee length heeled boots, put your legs under the water and completely fill your boots up Well let me know how it goes hun. Enjoy your weekend. Sharon. xx

Hello there Heidi, Sounds like you and I have the same dress sence With regards to when I get home, I usually rub my damp or wet tights dry with a towel, and when dry, slip my pumps or trainers on for walking around the house. I try not to walk around on the carpets for long in just my tights, otherwise the soles of them get bobbled. In my boots they stay silky soft As for wearing my boots in bed, I do sometimes, but only on very cold winter nights. Otherwise its just with tights on. Anyway, enjoy your weekend, and chat again soon. Sharon. xx

Hello Heidi (and Jane and Alexa if you're reading), That sounds like a nice outfit you wore for the presentation. What colour opaque tights were you wearing with that skirt suit? I usually wear Black, Navy, Brown or Grey 140 Denier tights to work. I also have Purple and Red, Bottle Green, and also Pink, Teal, Baby Blue and Mauve, as well as countless patterned tights that I wear on the weekends, days off work and evenings out with friends. Like I said in a previous post, I literally live in tights. I even have them on under jeans, leggings and trousers, when I wear them, as well as also wearing tights in bed at night. I think I have a tights addiction LOL!! As for getting my feet wet at work, I probably do this about three times a week, especially when my feet get hot in my tights and knee-length boots that I wear. Nobody's ever noticed or heard as yet, and because I always wear a minimum of three inch heel, the water always pools around my toes and therefore can't escape through the zip at my ankle Usually when I get home, I take the boots off and just rub my feet with a hand towel for a few minutes, and then just let my natural body warmth dry them the rest of the way. It usually only takes around 30 minutes once my boots are off. Anyway, must get on, I've not long got home and have yet to sort my dinner out. Hope to hear from you all soon. Sharon. xx

Hello there Heidi Yeah I did pour water down into my boots at 3pm today. Around 100 ml's in to each boot! It was lovely! the water was not too cold, but just cold enough to cool my hot feet down as the water ran down around my toes and soaked my tights The water stayed in them for nearly 2 hours, but after that had soaked up the legs of my tights. luckily though it had not reached the tops of my boots, so nobody noticed. It did however feel great when walking to my car after work in wet winter tights and my lovely comfy knee length 3.5" heel boots all wet around my feet. Wow, you should have seen the soles of my feet when I took those boots and tights off... My soles were so wrinkly!! Took over an hour before I could put clean dry tights on! That being said. I'd do it again even in brand new boots. I just love that feeling (Jane, Im sure you know what I mean)... Well, night night gang, Sharon. xx

Hi Alexa (and Jane and Heidi if you're reading), Yeah, Alexa, I had a look at that hyperlink you posted, and you're right, it does look like we've started a trend LOL!! I wasn't too keen on the shoes that celeb wore though, as those kind let you get your feet wet easily but don't hold any water. I like to feel my feet squishing and squelching in my shoes, boots or trainers. I do wear court shoes without tights occasionally, but they tend to make my feet sweat a lot, which makes them rather slippery inside, and my love of wearing tights means that most of the time I'm in tights, rather than barefoot in my shoes. Here at work today I'm wearing black leather knee-length zip-up boots with a 3.5" chunky block heel and navy blue 140 Denier opaques. I think around 2.30pm I should be alone in the office for the rest of the afternoon, so there's a very good chance I'm going to pour some water down the inside of my boots and soak my tights Should feel lovely, as I've had these on since 7.30am, and my feet are more than just warm! Anyway, must get on, lovely to hear from you as always Alexa, and hope to hear from you and the rest of the gang real soon. Sharon. xx

Hi Alexa (and Heidi and Jane if you're reading), Alexa, sounds like you had fun at the weekend. When you said "medium-heel pumps", do you mean court shoes? If so, what colour were they, and were they real leather? Either way, the heel and platform style sound really nice. I bet they must have felt lovely soaking wet and filled up really quick Just how deep exactly did you go in in the end, and did you have any sheer tights on under your jeans, or just bare feet in those courts? As for the two girls you met, I can imagine it was easy persuading them to come in with you, especially once they saw that you had classier shoes and jeans than their basic ballet pumps and leggings. I too have often found it quite easy to persuade other women to get wet in public places in the past, well... their shoes and socks at the very least. Anyway, must get on, as I'm at work and kind of skiving at the moment writing this. I should be writing JavaScript web pages and not chatting in here, although chatting in here is a lot more fun!! LOL Hope to hear from you three soon, and Jane, did you have the bath in your trainers, socks and tights over the weekend? If so, please let me know all about it and how it was for you. Sharon. xx

Hello Heidi (and Alexa and Jane if you're reading this), With regards to what you wrote about wearing tights in bed, yes, I nearly always do, as I don't feel comfortable without them on. I just love the feeling of snuggling up in bed wearing a nice, soft, warm pair of tights. As for have I gone to sleep with my shoes on as well, I can definitely say yes to this! There have been many times, especially on very cold winter nights, when I have got into bed keeping on a pair of knee-length boots and thick winter-wear tights. It helps me keep warm, and also feels comfortable and cozy. As for asking about my shoe selection, I have a huge amount. The last time I did a count was a few months ago, but as of then I had six pairs of trainers, five pairs of court shoes, five pairs of ballet pumps, twelve pairs of knee-length boots, four pairs of Ugg boots, six or seven pairs of slip-on 'loafer-style' shoes and some smart dressy shoes that are ideal for evenings out when I don't fancy wearing knee boots. Anyway, hope you three are having a nice weekend and hope to hear from you all soon. Sharon. xx

Hi Jane (and Alexa and Heidi if you're reading this too), Yeah, the parties can be a little bit mad. It's usually me that ends up in first, with everything on, but sometimes others join in too, but you're right, most who do come in remove their shoes or boots and their coat or jacket. I'm the only one that goes the whole hog In fact, I honestly can't remember the last time I went swimming in a bikini or swimsuit. I often actually put together an entire outfit as if I was getting ready for a night out with the girls, but instead of going out, I go in... the pool!! LOL I too have only told one person, whom I'm very close to. She's not really into it, but often does encourage me. For example, if we're out and about, and she sees a really deep puddle, she will often dare me to walk through it and into the deepest part, making sure it completely fills my shoes up, especially if I'm wearing my courts or my ballet pumps, but trainers and non-waterprood suede-topped boots (like Uggs and Emu's) don't get let off the hook either, even if they're new!! With regards to having a bath with your trainers on, I can't recommend this enough, especially if you do it in a really nice pair of well-cushioned, expensive ladies' trainers. I find the nicest ones to get wet in are Reebok Classics, Fila Sculpt-N-Tone and Nike Air. However, any expensive branded pair will do Just make sure that you wear a pair of at least 60 Denier opaque tights, with soft socks (preferably slouch socks, or "squelch socks", as I've nicknamed them due to the fact that they hold a large amount of water in the fabric). Yeah, I've nearly got caught at work a few times, but most of the time I'm in my own office and don't get disturbed much. As for wearing tights in bed, yes, I usually always do, along with my underwear and usually just a lightweight fitted baby tee top (one of those stretch cotton/lycra mix tops with the teeny capped sleeves). I find this combination far more comfortable than wearing pyjamas or just my bra and panties. Even in the summer, I've never woken up in the middle of the night with over-hot feet and/or legs, even when sleeping in my 140 Denier opaques. Perhaps this is just because my body has become used to having the tights on all the time, and my system has adjusted my body temperature accordingly. Aww, yeah, I've had several discussions with Heidi about getting her feet wet, and she's asked me many inquisitive questions on the subject. I'm fairly certain she'll want to join us in due course As for any wet feet fun this weekend, I'm going out this evening for several drinks with friends, and who knows what may happen when I get home late tonight? The other week, I came home late one Saturday night and, after all the walking around the town during the evening, my feet were roasting. I took my shoes off, filled them with cold water, tipped the excess out of them, and put them back on. It was lovely and cooling as it soaked straight through my tights, so I just decided to leave them on, got mostly undressed and hopped into bed. When I woke the next day, the feet of my tights were 90% dry and my own body warmth had almost completely dried the shoes out! So who knows, I might end up with wet shoes again at the end of this evening. If I do, I'll be sure to give you details when I next post. If you do the bath in trainers, socks and tights this weekend, please give me full details on how it went and felt etc., and exactly what you wore in the bath. Anyway, must get on, just 90 minutes to get ready before the taxi comes. Have a great weekend. Hope to hear from you real soon. Sharon. xx

Hi Alexa, and Jane, Alexa, as for your question regarding if I get up to this alone or with friends, I usually do it alone, but it does happen a LOT when I arrange pool partys. That way I can get soaked through in front of many people without having to explain why im in the pool fully clothed (sometimes with very expensive boots and clothes on!) I just love it SOOOO much! Im sure I was a mermaid in a past life LOL! Jane, sounds like you had fun. I love going in the sea with my shoes and tights, and sometimes socks over my tights on Feels fantastic in really well cushioned trainers. A male friend of mine was recently showing me his new trainers, and its odd how mens ones have so little cushoning in them! our women's ones have loads more! Great tho, as ours are far more squichy and squelchy when soaked and full of water... Hmm... YUMMY!!! Jane, try getting in a deep bath with a pair of white leather topped well padded women's, trainers, soft socks over opaque tights (at least 60 denier). Let me know how that feels for you. Its different from getting soaked in heels, but Im sure you will love the way it feels. As for our lovely Heidi, I am trying to get her to get her boots soaked. Like me she wears thick winter wear opaque tights a lot, and fur lined boots (I LOVE the feel of wet fur lining in my boots with my sopping wet tights!!) Im sure given time she will want to experiment and experience what we share. Anyway, Im off to bed shortly (in my 140 denier black matt opaques I may add. I love my tights. 2nd skin for my feet and legs!) Look forward to hearing from you soon Girls. Night night, Sharon. xx

Hiya Heidi, Wearing them wet to work was fun! I kept them zipped up all day. I had warm soft wet tights all day long. It felt so good! When I got home they were 70% dry, but my feet were a bit wrinkled under my toes LOL As for your evening out, if like me having your feet sweating a lot in your tights and boots is not a problem for you, then I'd keep with the knee boots, tights and socks. If however you want to keep dry almost sweat-free feet all evening, go for your low heel shoes with just the 80 denier tights. It will still be comfy and look nice with your dress. Sharon. xx

Hello Heidi (and Alexa and Jane if you're reading), With regards to wearing my wet boots today, I nearly chickened out at the last minute when getting ready this morning. However, I did do it. It felt lovely and cool as I zipped the boots up, and my soft, thick black tights gave me instant wet feet They were quite squishy, but after a 30-minute drive to work my tights had absorbed all the excess water, and there were no giveaway sounds when I entered the building. As for my swim yesterday, even in that full winter outfit I could still float on my back really easily. Back stroke is very easy, the crawl is fairly easy, and breast stroke is slow, but easy and very relaxing. Swimming under water is very easy and fantastic fun!! I also played around on an inflatable li-lo, sitting on it in the middle, lying on it and splashing around and falling off it backwards into the water again Anyway, hope to hear from you and Alexa and Jane soon. Sharon. xx
